If you sleep with a 13-year-old, you’re guilty of first-degree rape, just as if Polanski had used violence. According to the laws in California (and the rest of the Union), the victim has to be of a certain age before she can be considered able to voluntarily form a decision to have sex with an adult, at which point the incident can be classified statutory rape. He copped a plea to unlawful sex with a minor, but fled the country on the eve of his sentencing hearing. Polanski was charged with rape of a minor, rape by use of a drug, committing a lewd act upon a person less than 14 years of age, oral copulation, sodomy and furnishing drugs to a minor. What could her parents have been thinking? The only aspect of the crime that did not fit the profile, was that the victim was only 13 years old, and without any parent or adult guardian present to protect her. The crime was clearly plotted out, and was as sleazy as any attack committed by a phony “talent agent” on a desperate, young, would-be model.
Polanski plied his victim with champagne and quaaludes, and then raped her, afterwards telling her not to tell her mother. Conveniently, Nicholson was away at the time. Polanski lured his victim, 13-year-old Samantha Geimer (who has since revealed her identity), a young model, to a “photo-shoot” for French Vogue at his friend Jack Nicholson’s house.
In 1978, Polanski was convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old girl at Jack Nicholson’s house. Traditionally, in the English–speaking world, no court would hear a libel or defamation case brought by a convict, much less a fugitive convict, but we live in a brave, new world. The London High Court awarded the convicted fugitive $88,000 in a libel lawsuit.

Police officers posting to an NYPD message board said that it was crazy to go out for a drink wearing one’s weapon, but they were obviously racists who failed to understand Latin police culture. Marti’s colleagues at the multicultural precinct said he was a swell guy. Marti told police that he was an officer, thinking they would let him go, but they arrested him, anyway. Witnesses pointed out Marti to nearby police.īernard Marti is a community affairs officer in the NYPD’s 25th Precinct in Harlem. Marti then pulled his gun, the victim sought to slap it away, Marti shot the younger man, and fled the premises for his car. The victim knocked over Marti’s beer, apologized, ordered him another one, and then slapped that one away, spilling it all over Marti. According to police reports, Marti and the patron had reportedly been arguing over which Spanish-speaking country was superior. In New York City on July 22, 31-year-old Bernard Marti was arrested and charged with shooting a 23-year-old patron in the thigh at Cordato’s Restaurant in Greenwich Village.
